For the second year in a row, Gennevilliers is offering a ‘respite stay’ at its property in Ménilles (Eure) to forty children aged 9 to 16 from the area around Trostianets, an area under Russian occupation. On the menu: outings to Paris or to the sea, distance learning classes and workshops with French teenagers.

A way “to establish the notions of hospitality and openness to others”, underlines Gonéry Libouban, director of culture for the city.
